Reflections

Just saw an incredible exhibit soon on its way to Los Angeles:  Teotihuacan...City of Water, City of Fire. Among the amazing artifacts were some phenomenal murals from homes in that ancient city and sacred site. Not surprising, one of the themes was vegetation including these spectacular trees. The artists mixed hematite and pyrite with the pigments in the plaster and the results positively glowed. If there are a lot of superlatives in this post, the exhibit deserved every darn one. And lest we think we invented love of green things growing, these peoples in 60-450 AD beat us to it.
